Hello everyone. Band removed and sleeved on 12/6........ Feel great and down 20 pounds. I'm still on liquids for another week and a half but I'm feeling hungry for the first time since my surgery. I love to cook and I been cooking for y family since I'm home recouping. Is anyone else feeling hungry? Up until now I was never hungry....... What are you feeling?

I was hungry until I got to the "real" food. At almost 8 months out a meal is 2 oz of protein. No room for veg or anything else and I stay full for hours. At times, I do still get head hunger. It is tough. I do find that it happens less and less often but even when it does hit... I know what it is and usually ignore it.

I'm so hungry, was sleeved on 12/05/12 and I'm now on purees and I swear last night I could not stop eating, I'm thinking it is because that time of the month is a week away.

I am so glad that I am not the only one dealing with this issue. I have been struggling with this for a long time! I had my surgery in August 2010. I am a very private person and I kept it a secret from everyone except my husband. I lost 70 with the surgery but lost over 100 pounds from my heaviest, but have not lost any weight since January of 2012. People now call me skinny, though I have at least 20 pounds to reach my goal. I am able to eat anything I want and I do get full quickly but in a couple of hours I am hungry again. Also I seem to get hungrier in the evening and want to snack. I am having a big struggle not eating more at night. I do not want to gain weight. Anyone have any suggestions?
